1 The Virtues of Surah Al-Ma'idah; When It was Revealed Surah to ...

Abdullah bin Salam said, `You lie. The Tawrah
mentions stoning, so bring the Tawrah.'
They brought the Tawrah and opened it but one
of them hid the verse about stoning with his hand
and recited what is before and after that verse.
Abdullah bin Salam said to him, `Remove your
hand,' and he removed it, thus uncovering the
verse about stoning. So they said, He (Abdullah
bin Salam) has said the truth, O Muhammad! It is
the verse about stoning.'
The Messenger of Allah decided that the
adulterers be stoned to death and his command
was carried out.
I saw that man shading the woman from the
stones with his body.''
Al-Bukhari and Muslim also collected this Hadith
and this is the wording collected by Al-Bukhari.
In another narration by Al-Bukhari, the Prophet said to
the Jews,
What would you do in this case
141
مَا تَصْنَعُون بِهِمَا ؟
They said, "We would humiliate and expose
them.''
The Prophet recited,
قُلْ‏ فَأْتُواْ‏ بِالت َّوْرَاةِ‏ فَاتْلُوهَا إِن آُنتُمْ‏ صَادِقِينَ‏
Bring here the Tawrah and recite it, if you are
truthful. (3:93)
So they brought a man who was blind in one eye
and who was respected among them and said to
him, "Read (from the Tawrah).''
So he read until he reached a certain verse and
then covered it with his hand. He was told,
"Remove your hand,'' and it was the verse about
stoning.
